Genomics
Genomics is a science course in the CTY program. Its prerequisite is Genetics, which in turn has a prerequisite of Fast Paced High School Biology. It is good as a primer (no pun intended) on laboratory sequencing techniques and mechanisms and other topics in genomics, including the Human Genome Project. Its course code is GNIC, and it is offered only at Baltimore Session 2. There ate two co-instructors--Nick and Brian, instead of an instructor and a TA.
Genomics has two field trips. One is to Professor Andrew Feinberg[1]'s laboratory in downtown Baltimore, at the JHU hospital [2].
Class History
08 will always remember the Plavender Platypi and the Ultimate Tournament. They will also remember the various jokes made up, including the pick-up line: "You go over there to be a cherry-picker, and I'll take the frisbee and hammer it into the end-zone".
